I used to be able to tolerate alcohol without vomiting, a couple months back I had an operation on my chest and after about 350mL of wine I feel completely nauseated and usually vomit. It has gotten to the point where I can no longer drink with my friends because I tend to feel very sick after having a small amount of alcohol, once I drank 350mL of straight vodka got completely WASTED and had a hangover and vomited each night for almost a week! Even when I do drink small amounts of alcohol (enough to get tipsy) I end up vomiting the night after also. Can anyone help me I have no clue what is wrong with me and it has affected my ability to have fun with my friends.

Treatment for pectus excatvatum. Involves placing a stainless steel bar behind the sternum in order to push it outwards. I don't think this would have anything to do with the nausea but what do you guys think?

Julie, I think it may well be related to the operation. Let me tell you about my experience with terrible bouts of nausea. After having heart bypass surgery 16 years ago I would get the worst nausea I ever experienced at times. After a couple months I finally figured out what was causing it.
If I touched my sternum against anything it was so painful it took my breath away so of course I tried not let that happen. I had become very good at protecting it and the nausea had subsided. I figured the nausea was just a passing thing after the operation and didn't think about it much.
One day while sitting in the car waiting for my wife I moved just right so I hit the sensitive spot on the bottom of the steering wheel and I certainly remembered the pain. About 5 hours after that I got the terrible nausea again. Now I certainly didn't go hitting it on purpose to prove that was what caused the nausea but I did pay more attention to that and I found that whenever I hit the sternum I got the nausea about 5 hours later.
To this day I will still get nausea long after I hit the sternum. It's not as bad as it used to be but it still happens. I cannot lean over the fender of my car to work on it and I cannot sleep on my stomach or even lay on it.

I thought you said they did something to your sternum.

I guess I read that wrong, sorry.
